  • Patent number: 8948535
    Abstract: A system for contextualizing noisy samples by substantially minimizing noise induced variance may include a memory, an interface, and a processor. The memory is operative to store exemplars. The processor is operative to receive, via the interface, a sample which includes exemplar content corresponding to one of the exemplars, and noise. Variance induced by the noise may differentiate the sample from one or more of the exemplars. The processor may generalize the sample and the exemplars in order to substantially minimize the variance. The processor may compare the generalized sample to the generalized exemplars to identify the exemplar corresponding to the exemplar content of the sample. The processor may contextualize the sample based on a document type of the identified exemplar. The processor may present the contextualized sample to a user to facilitate interpretation thereof, and in response thereto, receive data representative of a user determination associated with the noise.

  • Patent number: 8929687
    Abstract: A system for organizing a plurality of candidates based on the relative similarity of a first candidate with respect to the remaining plurality of candidates is disclosed. The system includes a controller in communication with a storage device configured to receive and accessibly store a generated plurality of candidate images. The controller operable to analyze each of the plurality of candidate images to determined a numeric thumbnail based on a number of identified features in each of a plurality of grid elements of an array and a sum total number of all identified features in the array, calculate a similarity score between one of the plurality of determined numeric thumbnails and each of the remaining plurality of determined numeric thumbnails; and generate a logical group image order as a function of the highest similarity score between the one of the plurality of determined numeric thumbnails and each of the remaining plurality of determined numeric thumbnails.

  • Patent number: 8832853
    Abstract: A system for providing a managed virtual point to point communication service having a verified directory and providing secure transmission and controlled delivery of electronic document images may include a memory, an interface, and a processor. The memory may store a verified directory of users. The interface may communicate with devices of sending and receiving users in the verified directory. The processor may be operative to receive a request to deliver an electronic document image from a sending user to a receiving user. The processor may provide secure access to the electronic document image to the receiving user. The processor may provide a delivery confirmation to the sending device of the sending user upon determining that the electronic document image was securely accessed by the receiving user. The delivery confirmation may indicate that the electronic document image was securely transmitted to the receiving user.

  • Patent number: 8824785
    Abstract: A system for segregating handwritten information from typographic information on a document may include a memory, an interface, and a processor. The memory stores an electronic document image of a document where the electronic document image includes pixels and each pixel has a characteristic. The processor may receive, via the interface, the electronic document image and may identify first, second and third most frequently occurring characteristics of the pixels of the electronic document image. The pixels having the first most frequently occurring characteristic represent a background of the document. The processor may determine the typographic information of the document as represented by pixels having the second most frequently occurring characteristic. The processor may determine the handwritten information of the document as represented by pixels having the third most frequently occurring characteristic.

  • Publication number: 20140149440
    Abstract: In order to increase the efficiency of the worker and ultimately decrease the cost of the worker performing work-related tasks, a method and a system for presenting information relevant to user activity of a user at a computing device is provided. A database including data records that each include information relevant to at least one user activity and at least one identifier identifying the at least one user activity is provided. Activities of a user are monitored and compared to the data records of the database. When a monitored activity matches an identifier of one of the data records, the information corresponding to the matched data record is presented to the user.

  • Publication number: 20140056469
    Abstract: A system for contextualizing machine indeterminable information based on machine determinable information may include a memory, an interface, and a processor. The memory may store an electronic document image which may include information determinable by a machine and information indeterminable by a machine. The processor may be operative to receive, via the interface, the electronic document image. The processor may determine the machine determinable information of the electronic document image and may identify the machine indeterminable information of the electronic document image. The processor may contextualize the machine indeterminable information based on the machine determinable information. The processor may present the contextualized machine indeterminable information to the user to facilitate interpretation thereof. In response thereto, the processor may receive, via the interface, data representative of a user determination associated with the machine indeterminable information.
